I've seen rental estimates on SFHs there that looked comparable to duplexes.

I have done it and it will be a very profitable investment compared to traditional financing since you're essentially investing minimal amounts of your own money and reaping the benefits of the built equity and appreciation (and potentially even cashflow). 

Compare that to whatever you invested in, which you will likely have to pay a lot taxes on and it often times doesn't make sense.

I don’t want any referral fee, but what I do need help with is getting comparable sales from the MLS.”

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

Total value and percent of property that is land compared to percent that is the home? 

Shop around and compare rates and you'll get a good idea of what's good and what isn't. 

Rick Sands handled the issue horribly, folks lost a lot of money and I still have never received an explanation from the company as to what happened - but furthermore what THEY were going to do about it.Im using cozy now - and it does have a few shortcomings compared to erent.

Thank youI know the rents and specifics of the units Im more interested in bringing in a partner or private money to get started but will definitely compare it to financing.Again, thank you for the great insight!

My wife and I are real estate newbies, but have been investing in more "traditional" investment vehicles for several years now.
